Now I completely cut myself off all news whether it be internet based or on the TV. Now I’m living Simon and Garfunkel’s song lyrics and gather all the news I need from the weather report (I need a distraction while working so The Weather Channel is on about 9 hours a day). I still have LinkedIn because I got two jobs through it but I severely limit it and I’m pretty fast with the block button. Is ignorance bliss? Not sure exactly. I think I’m less angry which counts for something I guess but it hasn’t helped shake the low I’ve been in for a year now.

Social media stresses me out so much. I can feel my anxiety start rising the second I start scrolling through it and yet I have a hard time stopping. I’m always trying to cut back on like Facebook etc and it’s hard. That’s awesome that you were able to do that.
I stopped watching news though and have stuck to that because it was stressing me out extremely bad where I was in a state of panic all the time. It wasn’t healthy for me
